It is with a heavy heart that we are leaving 195 Pearls' Hill Terrace. After much discussions with the landlords and with the likelihood that Pearl's Hill will be redeveloping in 2025, we are unable to stay within our old unit or to move to another unit within this iconic building. We began here in a small unit 3 years ago, and have since changed and upsized our space 2 more times. It has been part of the beginning of our studio, and it will always hold a special place within our hearts! This space has seen us welcome many of you and work on some of our most exciting projects, and we appreciate every person that has come through...
We are excited to announce our latest collection that brings the enchanting world of Japanese Shibori dyeing into the limelight. The Shibori Collection sheds focus on the time-honored art of Shibori showcased through our vintage restored kimonos, resulting in a mesmerizing tapestry of tradition that is wearable. Shibori is an ancient Japanese dyeing technique that involves intricate patterns and textures created by folding, twisting, and binding fabric before dyeing. Each piece is a labor of love and patience, with each peak within the fabric being hand tied singularly, resulting in unique and stunning designs that have fascinated people for centuries. With this collection, we pay homage to this rich heritage and bring it to the forefront of fashion. The Shibori Collection is more than...

Launching on www.syne.sg & second-edit.co on 22nd December 2022 Created from retired off season items from Style Theory’s past collections, these bags represent the potential of a circular production within the fashion industry. Made entirely out of fabrics that have been salvaged from clothing that are traditionally slated to be discarded, the bags are crafted to to ignite the latent potential of unwanted apparel. Each piece is unique and a one off, due to the low quantities of original clothing styles. The capsule collection between the two brands formed into a larger bag made from apparel that had large panels of fabric, and a smaller bag that was created from the remainder of the scrap materials. The form of these larger bags...
We had the honour of collaborating on an art & fashion piece with our friend, and artist, Benedict Yu. Having showcased his works internationally, Benedict works mainly between Singapore and Taiwan. This exhibition, The Forgotten Garden, touches largely on how items are much more than merely inanimate objects, they often hold memories and experiences, even if they might seem simple on the surface. The apparel we created was made using water reactive fabrics, originally used as the flooring for Benedict's theatre production. These fabrics turn black when water is introduced onto them, and slowly evaporate till they are fully white once more. We believe each person has their own stories to tell, and in this form, each layer flows out...
